Mighty Gothic Lida Castle

The restoration of the castle was carried out during the 1980s and was the most active in the last few years. It should be noted that the restoration in some places is rather untidy and sometimes just bad. In some places they used modern materials for restoration which even didn’t try to stylize for the Middle Ages.

However, despite the introduction into the castle walls of “agro renaissance” the largest ancient castle in Belarus has not lost its grandeur, and still is able to impress tourists. Visitors can see a small exhibition, rest in a cafe, get the chance to shoot a bow and walk along the castle walls. In summer there are jousting tournaments and festivals of medieval culture.
